Charlie’s Angels Set Jinxed!

That’s the startling opinion of veteran crew members on the top-rated TV show, who say the new season’s very first episode ran into more problems than anyone could remember.

“I’ve never seen so many things go wrong,” lamented one shaken cameraman who has been with the show for years.” The show is jinxed!”

With “Angels” still reeling from continuous star wars and major shake-ups – culminating with Kate Jackson’s sudden firing – the show got off to an unsteady start with a frightening chain of bad omens. Among the mishaps:

• The plane taking “Angels” Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith and Shelley Hack from Los Angeles to location shooting in the Virgin Islands Saturday, June 9, was forced down in Miami because of mechanical trouble.

• Another, smaller plane that was flying them from Puerto Rico to the island of St. Thomas ran into a violent storm with gusts up to 100 MPH.

• When the exhausted stars and crew members finally arrived, they had to cross angry picket lines to get into their hotel – only to find their rooms weren’t ready and their baggage had not yet arrived.

As if that weren’t enough, in the seven chaotic days the cast and crew spent filming the first segment, the company was plagued by constant prop problems, poor weather conditions, equipment that refused to work, and more.

Plus, all three Angels complained of painful physical problems.

“There is no doubt about it – the show is jinxed,” concluded one insider. “Everyone on the set is talking about it.”

At one point, Jaclyn Smith just threw up her hands and groaned, “Nothing seems to be going right…”

The series of hard luck incidents began on a Lockheed L-2022 Jumbo jet flight Saturday, June 9, to Puerto Rico. Suddenly the pilot came on the intercom and announced to his startled passengers that he was making an unscheduled landing in Miami because a wing flap wasn’t operating properly.

The plane landed safely- but after waiting two hours, they Angels were informed that they would have to switch to another plane for the remainder of the flight to Puerto Rico.

After flying on to Puerto Rico, the tired girls dragged themselves onto a small, two-engine plane for the final leg to the island of St. Thomas. But they did not know that the worst was yet to come.

“It was a terrifying experience and the Angels were really scared,” recalled actor and fellow passenger Dick Sargent, describing the nightmare flight during which the small plane flew through a line squall of raging thunderstorms.

“We were bumping all over the place and several times I thought we were going to ditch. Everyone was sitting teemedly and gripping the arms of their seats. There were a lot of white faces in that cabin and I’m sure there were a lot of prayers – I know I was one,” remembered Sargent.

“When we landed in St. Thomas, we were just glad to have made it alive.”

After facing what seemed like the end, the trembling stars were whisked to their hotel, where they crossed a picket line of hotel employees involved in a local labor dispute.

Safely inside the hotel at last, the bone-weary travelers were stunned to find out that their rooms were not ready and their luggage had not arrived. It was two more hours before they were finally able to collapse in their beds.

But that was only the beginning. The following day, Jaclyn Smith was unable to leave her room. She was suffering excruciating pain from earlier dental surgery – and it wasn’t getting any better.

That same day, Cheryl Ladd was sucked under by a huge wave while swimming in the surf, and hurled up on the beach.

“She nearly drowned. She came up sputtering and choking – she was in a lot of trouble,” recalled a photographer who witnessed the incident.

Cheryl ended up with an injured eye that slowed production and made it necessary to shoot some scenes from special camera angels. The eye was scratched, so she had to wear dark glasses to protect her eyes from the sun.

The following day, Monday, June 11, called for location shooting at sea in boats. But the seas were so heavy that Cheryl became violently seasick, and all the vessels had to turn back – further delaying production. When the ocean eventually calmed down, some of the boats couldn’t work.

Cheryl’s eye injury kept her out of the water. Unfortunately, her part called for a lot of swimming. So a local double had to be found and signed up. The double could swim – but couldn’t take direction. More delays.

Once, the double was swept away by a fast-moving current and had to be rescued by a nearby boat manned by a photographer.

Jaclyn Smith bravely bit back her tooth pain – but wound up feeling woozy and ill from the constant rocking of the boats.

“Here we are shooting on a tropical island – and I’m not even enjoying it!” the star complained to a pal.

As production limped along, scene after scene was crippled by one irritating problem after another.

“Props don’t work properly, the weather is bad, and two of the stars are hurting,” fumed an assistant director.

It wasn’t long before all three stars were in pain.

Several days into the shooting, Shelley Hack came down with an agonizing case of severe sunburn.

Then Cheryl slipped and cracked her head as she was stepping aboard a boat. She staggered, and for a frightening moment it looked serious. She remained in a daze for several minutes.

To make matters even worse, Cheryl was also hit with a vicious case of sunburn as painful as Shelley’s.

“It really hurts,” she groaned to a friend.

“The sunburn is all the way down my back to here,” she said, pointing to the seat of her shorts. “I can’t even sit or lie down…”

By Friday, Cheryl felt so sick she was unable to report for work. Then production officials were horrified to find that a whole half-day’s worth of film was mysteriously fogged and had to be re-shot.

These bad luck incidents plus a mountain of accumulated snafus threw the shooting schedule into chaos. One official projected that the cost of the star-crossed first episode would jump “from 1.8 million to well over $2.1 million.”

Adding to the misery was the food, widely described as “just terrible,” by dispirited company members.

To cap it all off, the cast and crew received an anonymous threatening phone call linked to the hotel union problem. The caller warned ominously that “if you people don’t get out of that hotel someone is going to get hurt.”

In the end, it was all the troubled cast and crew could do to force themselves to stay on St. Thomas even one more day. When Saturday finally came, the entire cast and crew heaved a sigh of relief, packed their bags, and fled for home. Jaclyn Smith seemed to sum up the feelings of her fellow sufferers when she shook her head and sighed wearily: “I want to get out of here very badly – I really don’t like it at all.”

Jaclyn Smith: I’m Quitting

“I’m quitting after this season!” declares Jaclyn Smith – the last of the original Charlie’s Angels. In an exclusive interview in London, the soft-spoken actress dropped the bombshell announcement that she’s “had enough” of the hit show. “It seems ‘Charlie’s Angels’ will go on forever – but I don’t want to go on forever with it.”

The sultry star was keeping a tight lid on the real reasons she’s determined to quit after this coming season. But The ENQUIRER learned the untold story – that a furious Jaclyn:

• Is outraged by scripts that “are more like a soft-core porno movie.”

• Despises the luridly skimpy outfits she’s forced to wear.

• Feels betrayed by producers for not consulting her on changes in the show.

• Is being pushed hard to quit by her actor-husband, Dennis Cole – who wants her to do projects with him.

• Feels sexy super-model Shelley Hack was miscast as the new Angel.

Although Jaclyn personally gets along well with Shelley on the set, when she first heard news of the casting she saw red. In fact, less than 48 hours after Shelley Hack was named to replace the departed Kate Jackson, Jaclyn demanded a meeting with ABC executives.

“She is wrong, wrong, wrong!” Jaclyn fumed at the executives, according to an eyewitness.

Banging her hand on the table as she spoke, the normally mild-mannered actress angrily snapped:

“I do not think Shelley Hack is right… There is no contrast between Miss Hack and Cheryl. Facially they look very much alike.”

Turning to the show’s producer, Aaron Spelling, she told him: “I’ve lost faith in your word, Aaron. You’re forcing her down our throats.”

She said she’s happy with the guest appearance her husband will be allowed to make on the show and with her salary - $40,000 a week.

But then Jaclyn gave a deep sigh and solemnly announced: “I want it understood that this will be my last year. I will not, cannot continue. As I said before, with the bikini scripts and semi-nudity, I would get more coverage from a postage stamp. I will not promote the show or give interviews. I must look to my future as an actress.”

With anger and resentment burning in her eyes, Jaclyn snapped at producer Spelling: “You should replace us with (porno stars) Marilyn Chambers and Linda Lovelace. That’s all the present scripts are – sex. You stop just short of explicit sex. Nothing can compensate for the cheapness that is foisted upon us and the public. I’m amazed that the public doesn’t just retch in pure disgust. If this low-life show doesn’t destroy it, I will have a future in feature films. Farrah and Kate were right (in leaving). Nothing will make me change my mind.”

When Jaclyn left the room, there were tears of anger in her eyes.

One insider who works on the set told The ENQUIRER that one of the reasons Jaclyn doesn’t walk off right now is because she’s afraid of breaking her contract would jeopardize future projects.

“She wants to star in ABC movies with her husband,” said the source. “She’s already had him written into episodes of Charlie’s Angels.’ She’s told people on the set, ‘I’m not doing any more of that garbage after this year’s contract ends. She has openly said that she show is getting too sexy and the tiny bikinis the girls have been given to wear are nothing more than pieces of twine. She told the producers scornfully, ‘Your scripts are more like a soft-core porno movie.’”

The insiders said Jaclyn felt “double-crossed” by the production company because – even though she’s the only original Angel who’s loyally stayed with the show – she hasn’t been consulted on scripts, wardrobes or the selection of Shelley Hack.

But there’s another big reason Jaclyn is shedding her Angel wings – her husband wants her to boost his career by working with him, believes another insider, who asked not to be named.

“Her husband Dennis is trying to get work very, very badly,” said the source. “I think he’s trying to get Jackie out of the ‘Angels’ so they can do films and joint ventures. Jaclyn and he have been pushing the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ producers to let Dennis have a running character part. The producers are just not going to buy it.”

Fleeing Angel heaven could be a terrible mistake for Jaclyn, said the source.

“I don’t think the producers will be worried, but Jackie certainly should. She is being pushed into a bad decision by Dennis who is trying to further his own career.”

And another knowledgeable source angrily slammed Cole, charging: “It’s obvious he’s rebuilding his career on hers.”

Jaclyn’s jovial costar David Doyle confirmed that she is dead set on hanging up her Angel halo.

“She does want to leave the show next year,” he said. “She very well might be bored with the repetition of appearing in a continuing series. What Jaclyn has said (about leaving) can be taken without any salt at all. It’s a very candid remark. Personally, I would like her to stay. But this will give her a chance to shine somewhere else alone rather than shine among a group.”

And Jaclyn herself confided: “Dennis and I have been in Paris talking about film projects we could do together. I’m planning to do something else, but I haven’t decided just what yet. I’d like to do something entirely different.”

New Angel’s Start a Disaster

Shelley’s dismal debut came during filming of the first episode called “Love Boat Angels.”

The ENQUIRER has obtained a copy of the script, which finally explains just what happened to the character played by fallen Angel Kate Jackson, who was fired from the show.

Shelley, who is taking Kate’s place, made an awful beginning in her new career.

After blowing her lines repeatedly and driving the director up the wall, she privately confessed that her new job was harder than she’d thought. Stung and embarrassed by the fiasco of her major acting debut, Shelley – a top model with little acting experience – later lamented to a crew member: “I didn’t realize it was going to be this hard…”

Shelley’s startlingly frank admission followed a brutal day on the set in which she fledgling actress stumbled over her lines so many times that she finally drew the wrath of crew members, who were openly critical of her poor performance.

“All she had to do was speak a couple of simple lines and she flubbed them six times,” complained one crew member. “Every time she messed up she ran over and put her arms around the director and asked him to forgive her. By about the third time he was getting really angry with her. And so were the rest of the crew. They just don’t think she has any talent.”

Not only that, but insiders say Shelley is so unattractive when not wearing makeup that her stunning costars don’t feel even the least bit threatened.

“Shelley hack is such a plain Jane that the other two don’t feel threatened by her at all,” revealed an actor.

Added a cameraman: “She’s all right in makeup, but beside Cheryl or Jackie she might as well be a boy. Everyone expected a glamorous lady, but she’s not that glamorous…”

One insider confided: “Shelley’s flat-chested and looks like a boy standing next to Cheryl and Jackie – and without makeup she’s one of the plainest actresses anyone can remember seeing on the show.”

In the first episode, the Angels try to recover a cargo of stolen Greek treasures. The show’s first segment won’t air until the new fall season. So ENQUIRER readers are the first to know that Sabrina, played by Kate, got married an is expecting a baby.

Before introducing the Angels to their new partner Tiffany Welles – played by Shelley – Charlie speaks two brief lines that write Kate out of the show. The scene: Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith) and Kris Munroe (Cheryl Ladd) are inside Charlie’s office.

“By the way, Angels, I heard from Sabrina,” Charlie says over the intercom. “… the honeymoon’s over.”

BACKGROUND CHECK

No new posts here since October. Finally something new……….and it’s a recycled article from a rag magazine. Lame!

Anthonydeutsch

I agree come on Anna and Holly, lets get some more articles and critques of the rest of season four episodes.

Greg Jurick Blackshear

How about you both shoot yourselves in the eye with an acid filled arrows? Seriously and I typically don’t wish death or disfigurement on people I disagree with (outside of Joffery from Game Of Thrones) but I’m willing to make an exception this time. If you don’t like the content on this site that myself as well as Anna and Holly write for …how about you start your own. You can call it “Isn’t it Ironic that if Shelley Hack actually met us she would be freaked out and uncomfortable” .com. You can Skype circle jerk to her Charlie commercials! You have posted like 300 comments on a free fan site that you constantly dog out. If their is a restaurant where I don’t care for the food I simply don’t eat there any longer I don’t go there night after night eating a meal..not paying and then bitch about it. That is what crazy people do….ahem.. So you are welcome for all the years of free articles and reviews. I’m hoping changing up your meds will heal your tortured
psyche.

It’s not lame at all. I’ve actually learned a few things.

Crtt63

This is an article from the National Enquirer so whatever you learned probably isn’t true! :o)

Anthonydeutsch

This rag paper usually has more lawsuits placed against it than all the others (gossip rags) combined,so I would’;t put much stock in what you think you have learned unless you are gullible and a detractor.

belenpakantot

hear, hear!!! attention all angels fans…

Anthonydeutsch

to make this comment in print you must have not known very much at all about Shelley Hack and her ill fated arrival to this troubled show with a production staff that was in total disarray, the inmates were running the asylum and the executive producers were just trying to hold onto their ass’s to get through a federal inquiry of extorting millions of dollars along with other prominent people that also appeared to have their fingers in the pie, it was called (Angelgate), and also to get five seasons in the can to enable them to take this series to syndication were huge dollars awaited, so they really didn’t have a handle or even care what was going on on the set.

belenpakantot

yeah, you apparently learned a few old gossip. that had been disproven by many info that came up later. charlie’s angels was a phenomenal hit in its 1st year so it was a big target for the competition. farrah’s departure failed to sink it, its popularity alone ensured that it would live on for another year. but in its 3rd year, ratings have slipped. and with kate’s departure, the ratings vultures were again circling and circling closer on the show. combine the public’s negative reaction to kate’s firing and lakso’s animosity towards new angel shelley hack and you have a show that was marked for death. shelley had very little chance but she managed to win admirers anyway inspite of lakso’s attempts to sabotage her on the show. the ratings kind of stablized actually at #19 (from #12 the previous season). the much feared ratings freefall and sudden death actually came in season 5, dropping aaaaaall the way down to #59. the only good thing that probably came out of that was it also basically wrote finis to incompetent lakso’s writing and producing career!

Anthonydeutsch

very well said and very accurate, thats why i love to communicate with you, kind of like our own forum

Loved this article. What great insight on a troubled show after kate left, but I still liked the trio of Tiff, Kelly, and Kris and Bosely! Angels 4ever!

Anthonydeutsch

There is not much to like about this other than all the problems getting there,ect. Most of the article seems to have been used as a set up to demean Shelley Hack which is sad to say the least. Even Allen Baron who was the director for this episode publically stated that he felt bad for Shelley because she was not integated in the show. I have watched all of season 4 at least a couple hundred times and I see good chemistry among all 4 actors. Tiff is very playful with Bosley,it’s cute. This was the most interesting trio that tackled social issues maybe even ahead of its time.These girls were actually believeable as professional detectives working in a professional office. Gone was the sloppy look and childish behavior, the dressed impeccable thanks to Shelley Hack chic and caste and they never ever looked better and sexier, never cheap just in a classier more mature and elegant way.Season 4 angels rock.

What a bunch of Haters! Ed Lakso wrote what Spelling told him to write, so blame Spelling, who is the real culprit. Jaclyn Smith couldn’t act her way out of a wet paper bag and came closer than anyone knows of being fired while shooting the Pilot. Kate saved her-but Jaclyn never did learn how to act. Please don’t blame Ed Lakso-blame Spelling. And when Kate left the show what REALLY happened was that the other women-Jaclyn & Cheryl couldn’t act-Kate was supporting the entire load of the show. She was not fired. Spelling refused to allow her to do “Kramer vs Kramer”, even though the Producers changed the schedule so she would never miss a day on “Charlie’s Angels”! Yet all she said was, “I served it well and it served me well. Now it’s time to move on.” And thus the Shark jumped!!!’

Anthonydeutsch

no you don’t, I know you better than that.and know you know better than that, from reading some of your other posts which I really enjoy.

Yumeomiru

I liked to read this, but I think there are lot of lies in it. I don’t know the newspaper, but sounds to bee a tabloid to me. Poor Schelley, I hope she didn’t read it back then.

belenpakantot

poor shelley, indeed! she was a victim of nasty rumors, engineered apparently by the lazy headwriter lakso. karma struck them when the 5th season failed big time, leading to the show’s cancellation. for mist fans, the show ended with season 4, when the producers made shelley the scapegoat for slipping ratings and replaced her with a bikin-clad bore who spelled death for the show the minute w3e saw her on-screen!

Anthonydeutsch

Shelley basically was gang tackled by Ed Lakso and his minions, and Lakso proceeded to clip this beautiful angels wings so she would never be able to spread them and soar. What kind of producer would kill off a brand new character without even giving her a chance? Lakso truley was a dispicable person Can anyone imagine what this poor girls feelings must have felt like? Wondering why and what did she do to him or anyone there,she didn’t know anyone. She had to deal with all this s/g political shit with no clue as to why and also all alone with no support group, unlike cheryl (who had david doyle) to befriend and talk to Shelley had noone.How she made it through to the end is remarkable, even ABC thought it was remarkable of her to finish out the final episode One love two angels which she had a prominent role in. She then left showing no signs of emmotion and proceeded to put as much distance as possible between herself and this nightmare.

Anthonydeutsch

This artical if that’s what you want to call it is a fine example of allthe type of lies, rumors.and plain mean spirited hit this PRICK Lakso was spreading around the tabloids trying to entice the fanbase to hate Tiffany, this type of bullshit i what tabloids feed off of with NO regard to accuracy, truth, or what it might do and harm the person they are wrting about, all they care about is they think they are the first picking up a scoop and they rush to get it to print hoping to look good in sales and to their editor,they will worry about truth and potential lawsuits later.I feel sorry for Shelley if he did read or ee thi crap.A fine example of /g and Lakso’ bullshit and their SEASON OF HATE.What a girl to endure this ugly , mean spirited, unprofessional people and actually try and care all the way to the very end.Today it is safe to say Tiffany has become one of the most popular angels of all time and she will be remembered forever in angel history. I only wish he read some the comments and popularity polls of today but I’m sure she does not and could care less about this HATEFUL SHOW which took years to over come.Even ABC felt bad for her and knew it was not her fault but rather Lakso’s. They tried to make it up to her with giving her the lead in new erie like Jack and Mike and CUTTER to HUSTON.Remarkable lady.

Anthonydeutsch

Make no mistake about it she saw and read it and it hurt her deeply, because she didn’t know what she possibly could have done to this man and set of people to make them dislike her so much, she didn’t know anyone she simply auditioned for a part and won it and all this was totally unexpected, she came from a privaleged upbringing, she was sent home in tears every night and cheryl and david doyle helped her get through this period and felt bad for her, but she had real class and dignity and honored her contract and made the best of it and thats all she really could do even ABC commented that her equnimity was amazing, she was and is a special human being and certaintly didn’t deserve this kind of treatment and makes one wonder just where the hell was s/g when all this crap was taking place on their set after all it was suppossed to be their company not lakso’s.

Pnyc1969

What nonsense. I have never heard Jaclyn speak like that in an interview. She has said repeatedly that she never felt exploited or cheapened because of the bikini scenes and it is not believable that she was complaining about sexually explicit scripts at the start of season 4. By this time the show had shed most of its prurient content (if not its reputation for such). As for the claim that Dennis Cole was going to guest star, that is not true. His spots were over before S4. Any Jaclyn Smith fan would recognize the absurdity of the image of her demanding a meeting with AS and pounding on a table in protest of a decision she was not part of. Is the National Enquirer still in business?

Anthonydeutsch

i was hoping you found this artical because I wanted you to read my post above. I spend alot of my day researching everything from everyones perspective because noone wants to tell what happened out there, Some of my posts get deleted by a moderator if they get to pointed and hit too close to home,So I am surprised this one is still up, this is the type of nastiness that was intentionally leaked.Like everyone else I spent my money and bought jack condans (casebook) and mike pingles (behind the scenes) and didn’t learn much of anything thats why to me if anybody knew they weren’t going to say it,they are all trying to get a cut of the pie. The truth is out there and I decided to look for it.

belenpakantot

i haven’t read their books but from the bits and pieces posted on the net, it seems to me that jack condon and mike pingle have never been fair to shelley. they were lazy in that the basically just echoed what the tabloids and lakso said against shelley. they had no freah or new perspective to offer. they couldn’t even begin to think why season 5 flopped inspite of the praises they heaped on tanya. (sure, scripts sucked, and lakso sucked but tanya herself sucked. she was the most jiggly of all the angels and bared everything in sheena, view to a kill and a host of soft-porn features that still got her nowhere.) so, i would take whatever they said in their ugh, so-called books, with a grain of salt

belenpakantot

jaclyn and cheryl had been both kind and gracious to shelley in all of their interviews. if we are to beleive these fans-turned-pseudo writers’ (condon and pingle) accounts, though, jaclyn allegedly said t that shelley was demanding script changes that would highlight tiffany and not the trio. or that cheryl mocked shelley’s attempts at inquiring about her character’s motivation in each episode and said that shelley should just focus on creating a character. i really am not inclined to believe in either, uh, quotes. then again, if true, wouldn’t shelley have valid concerns in trying to establish tiffany’s character/motivations and in trying to have more substantial parts written for her? jaclyn and cheryl (who have both came out complaining about lakso’s diminished part for tiffany and asserting that shelley was blamed for a lot of things she wasn’t responsible for) should know better. which is why i don’t believe these lies peddled by condon and pingle

Anthonydeutsch

hello again, I read the same things and i think if any of this is true we should look at what was happening to this poor girl,she comes 3500 miles to a new suppossedly exciting job and bigtime career advancement only to find that she really wasn’t wanted by anyone other than nolan miller, the girls and david doyle really wanted to launch SOLO carees like kate and farrah because they knew the party was almost over and like the other two have said this cheese was coming to a rapid end, concentrate on developing a character, well here is what shelley hack discovered on day one, a producer and his crew that openly said that they didn’t have any ideas for this type of character and that they were going to introduce her slowly as they get to know her, what a bunch of shit , shelley hack was a very smart chick and she soon realized that this BIG break was blowing up on her and combined with all the bullshit lies and rumors Lakso was feeding the tabloids, well excuse her if she tried to offer some ideas as to what her strengths are seeing as she unlike the other co-stars actually had three movie type credits and diploma from an accredited acting school in new york,Lakso was openly saying he had no ideas translated means i am buying time till i have this actress and her character completely hated and ruined so s/g will have no choice but to run her off ,now half way through the season new guest writers were hired and they didn’t have any of these issues and problems Lakso had, now i ask how can this be? Lakso was billed as the best writer in hollywood, so we were left with some beautiful memories and best episodes of the entire season, Cheryl to me always seemed to support Shelley and tried to help her by explaining all the shit that was going on at the time which wasn’t shelly’s problem, as far as she was concerned she was a actress that was going to portray a character on a very populat telivision show thats all, she didn’t know or care about federal investigations, lawsuits, angelgate ect, she was drawn into a nightmare and all the transgressions were directed on her in order to cause a public ditraction in an effort to deflect the attention elsewhere and not on them,yes indeed hollywood is a bitchy town, and all it would take is the ruination of one new actress that noone cared about.

Anthonydeutsch

man i love communicating with you, we seem to see pretty much the same, i did by condons case file book and he really didn’t offer any fresh insight but in many of his episode citiques he seemed to blame Lakso, now something we have to recognize is that these experts are trying to jump on the gravy train and get rich in the process, they wanted a piece of the pie and also hawk their collection, plus if they knew anything they certaintly wasn’t going to put it in print, i always felt these guys were trying to dupe us and shield s/g, and get rich in the process

Anthonydeutsch

What a bunch of crap. Enquirer is the worst rag there is, they resort to all kinds of lies to sell their ten cent rag without the least bit of compassion for the person they are trying to demean and destroy. Shelley Hack was one of the drop dead beauties of the 70’s, One of the million dollar faces and I think Revlon would strongly disagree with these statements from enquire. Shelley was already a multi millionaire BEFORE she was an angel from her looks alone. Her face was everywhere. Blame belongs to Lasko he already wrote the scripts before he knew who the new girl and character would be. If she was struggling at first doesn’t anyone think to help her and have a little compassion, after all she was so new to all of this. Is spelling/goldberg blind? They knew she was a small breasted woman, all super models of that era where, it was a requirement along with being tall and thin.What a bunch of neandethals to judge a woman by her boobs.Somebody needs to explain to the fans if she was so bad and couldn;t act, how in the world did she turn it around and act very very good in the second half of the season when s/g where forced to hire a slew on guest writers to write for this trio.Unlike Lakso Lee Sheldon and BW Sandefur had NO problem intigrating Tiffany into agency. Shellly must have been able to act all along, they just needed the right story lines and scripts. Once Lakso was pushed aside it was smooth sailing. She damn near stole the show and today it is regarded as some the best episodes of the entire series by todays standards of critics, S/G wanted to ride off the Charlie Girl noterioty for all it was worth (smart move), They didn’t realize that when they were trying to create this waspy, intelligent fictional character they didn’t initially realize that they were talking to the real article, Shelley Hack/Tiffany Welles was one and the same. Charlies angels was afictional show for entertainment purposes, the Charlie Girl was real and bigger than, it became iconic and the world belonged to her. They tried to strip shelley of her self esteem and she wasn’t having it, so they critisized her for everything. They made this poor girl feel like crap and tried to turn everyone against her. Other producers, directors saw something other than the bullS/G were laying out, she had plenty of work, she never attained superstar status as an actress but redeemed herself. Speaking of superstar actress’s NONE of the angels past or presant obtained it either and they know it, thats why they all branched out into other areas and projects. Funny today Shelley owns her own production company called Smash Entertainment, she developed nicely because she has talent. This angel made all the right moves in life,she has her health looks husband and daughter not to mention all the money she and her family would ever need in their lifetime. Does anyone remember the final episode of season 4, BW Sandefur integrated Tiffany in such a nice way that it wouldn’t have mattered if Jackie lelt, he basically gift wrapped her for S/G as the new leader or backbone of the group, she did work out and she saved her self and her character, only that S/G didn’t still realize that they did make the right choice and also found the new writing staff. Thats what is so unforgiveable on the part of S/G. More proof, this new staff could not work their magic in season 5 because Tanya was really bad actress with no hope,fans were just starting to get to know Tiffany and like her and she is gone.Season 5 missed Tiffany’s charm and grace and there was no replacing that no matter how much breast jiggle she did, even though she worked hard. Lets give Shelley a break here and be a little compassion and appreciate her work. She will make you smile

belenpakantot

shelley did great, considering all the problems that plagued production at that time… lakso was the great offender, unable to re-write his mediocre script and tailor-fit it for the new angel… shelley did really fine in the 2nd half of the season, when guest writers were doing the scripting job instead of lazy lakso… the stupid lakso got his comeuppance in the last awful season when he couldn’t make his mediocre script remotely interesting even with a bikini-clad tanya who turned out to be such a wooden performer even for her succeeding soft-porn projects post-angels!!! lakso and tanya did such a fine job of driving the show straight down to ratings hell. i wonder what reward s/g and abc gave them for such an amazing accomplishment???

Anthonydeutsch

Funny you should ask, according to his own biography he said that while he was still occupying and had an office at ABC he looked out his window only to see a couple of maintance workers painting over his name on his two parking spaces and removed and relieved him of his duties and gave his office to somebody else, he also stated that he wasn’t all that upset because throughout the angels run he had done and set himself up well financially and would never have to go back and write again. He had his wife and daughter also getting paid to write and he also got paid for his corny songs he wrote. He took alot of money out from under ABC, Noone knows if this had anything to do with his dismal, but it wouldn’t surprise me,s/g themselves were accused of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars (angelgate it was called), so they never were around their own set to see Lakso behaving so poorly towards Shelley, they just took his word for everything because financially they were all doing extremely well and no sence rocking the boat.Shelley was a wiz with money and there is no telling if she herself knew too much, at the time she joined she was the only legitimate millionaire, just another thing that bothered Lakso and s/g because the didn’t have the control over her that they would have liked, think about it every actress that left that show s/g set out to ruin and destroy their careers. Agent Jay Bernstien went as far as to say they would do and say ANYTHING just short of committing murder to get their way. What a swell bunch of guys to work for and every writer,director, producer that worked for them said basically the same thing.

Anthonydeutsch

Here is the funny thing, while Lakso was pulling all his tricks to kill off this new character, Shelley was playing the biggest cat and mouse game Hollywood ever saw, she would out smart and out wit him at every turn when he was trying to make her irrelivant. Some how some way she would always find a way to get in on the act or the scene and make herself a part of it, this must have frosted Lakso cookies and there wasn’t a thing he could do about, everytime she did this she PROVED that she really was the really smart angel, if you study this in the episodes she actually made a complete azz out of Lakso, i guess it does take a quickness and talent to be able to out fox the shows prolific writer/producer,I hope she got some laughs out of it.

Danielle Marsh

I must say, even though this article was from a paper that is known for its lies it does ring true. I think hack was totally miscast in this role, and was responsible for the decline of the show.

Chrliesangelsman

@Danielle Marsh: Of course everyone is allowed their own opinion, but I think that the majority of people disagree w/ your statement. Shelly WAS NOT miscast in this role. I think that the general consensus is that she was a WONDERFUL addition to the team. The problem(s) were so clearly the writers. Ed Lakso in particular, was nearly sole responsible, as he DID NOT like Shelly, for whatever the reason, and therefore wouldn’t integrate her into the group via the scripts. Her introduction was quite awkward, and did not follow the same SUCCESSFUL method that was used to introduce Cheryl Ladd. I feel terribly sad for how Shelly Hack was treated b/c it was so unfair. I hated to see Kate Jackson leave, but IF she was going to be replaced, I think that Shelly Hack was absolutely the BEST replacement they could have came up with. As an author of a Charlie’s Angels book put it: “they were replacing the smart angel with the ‘really’ smart angel.” I think that Shelly’s: “sorority girl,” debutante, & wasp style was the perfect addition to the series.

belenpakantot

i strongly disagree with you, ms. marsh! the publicity pix alone showed that shelley physically complemented jaclyn and cheryl very well. this trio was the closest we can get to capturing the magic, beauty and appeal of the original trio (kate, farrah and jaclyn). shelley made jaclyn and cheryl look good and on the show, when they had good scripts in the 2nd half of the season, this trio rocked! shelley was funny, pretty, fashionable, and glamorous. none of the other contenders for the tiffany wells role had such charm and class! you want to talk about miscasting, look at tanya roberts. that one, i would agree, was a total, absolute miscast!!! connie selleca, priscilla presley or cornelia sharpe would have shown more life in that role

Anthonydeutsch

I couldn’t agree with you more, miss marsh isn’t really a fan just a detractor that is so far behind the times in both knowlege and facts that it would be impossible to carry on any kind of discussion with her, can’t belive clinging to a old unfactual rag article. Obviously she stumbled upon this particular article and dove right in head first without even checking the polls, so she doesn’t even know modern day thoughts of the fanbase, so she stands alone.

Greg Jurick Blackshear

She has an opinion that is different than yours. Her opinion actually mirrors history and is shared with many people. How does this make miss marsh not a fan? Are you serious? Anyone that doesn’t share your Tiffany obsession you call not a fan and deem unworthy of discussion? Are you so wrapped up in your crazy that you don’t see the hypocrisy and silliness in that? She doesn’t stand alone. I agree with her so that’s 2. Johnny Carson..thats three. Let’s see Nolan Miller is 4…

Anthonydeutsch

This was the best the angels ever looked, after four years it was time for them to grow up a little and get a pulled together look that would compliment who they were suppossed to be which was professional detectives working for the top detective agency in the country, the girls being braless in sweatshirts oiling up the wheels on their skateboards needed to go, this is now four years later,Shelley Hack was not miscast she was the perfect casting for that role and she also was a good angel, eventually becoming the most popular, remember she was the most hated, so this is quite a turn around and it was long overdo and well deserved, we see this today because we the fanbase also have matured just like the angels did in season four, please purchase season four from this site and view the episodes and i am sure that you will see what everybody else does, I only wish that Shelley herself knew today she is the most popular and that we love her.

Greg Jurick Blackshear

I swear for God I would be 0% surprised to find out you hacked the polls. Never in any poll of Charlie’s Angels is Tiffany the most popular Angel you creepy ass star stalker. She just wasn’t. You know that I know that any television or pop culture historian knows that. I happen to like Tiffany more than most people but she is not as popular an angel as Jill or Kelly or Kris or Sabrina. She usually comes in 4th or 5th. She just does. It sucks that it worked out that way but it did and reality and non obsessive realness will be reflected on this sight,

Greg Jurick Blackshear

I agree

Anthonydeutsch

it’s nice to see that after all these years the polls and modern day critics, and fans new and old finally see the great contributions shelley made to a troubled series where the head writer ,producer hated her before he even met her and set out on a mission to destroy,ridicule, and demean her on a daily basis by leaking and spreading lies,rumors and plain shit to the hollywood rags which thought they were getting a hot scoop right from the sets bigwig. Today it is pretty much common knowlege that ed lakso sabatouged shelley/tiffany sending this new poor actress home in tears on a daily basis,but the realquestion of why would he go to such great lengths to jepordise the future of this great show has never been asked or answered. Shelley realley didn’t have much interest in a running weekly tv show because she already graduated from hans bergoff school of acting and had 3 tv and movie credits and wanted to proceed in that direction, plus she still 2years left on her revlon perfume campaign which was extremely successful and she was paid over 5million dollars for her efforts, unheard of amount of money at the time, plain and simple she was rich on her beautiful face alone. As time dragged on in this angel hunt Spelling had his sights set on this charlie girl, thats who he wanted all along so he applied pressure to shelley’s agent who in turn convinced her to fly out and test, so she did.Most actresses come out to hollywood with big dreams, on a thin dime,via greyhound bus,being very vulnerable to hollywood types that look to take advantage of these girls mostly through ludicrious promises of stardom via the infamous casting couch. Shelley didn’t fit this pattern at all and she certainly wasn’t going to pay any angel or hollywood dues of this nature.Allen Baron and Nolan Miller handled shelley’s screen test and personality test all in the presance of ABC execs. It was easy all she had to do was be herself because they all didn’t realize that this actress was the real article, actress and character were one and the same needless to say her test went very well aqnd everybody fell in love with her all except ED Lakso. He was handling the screen test for an actress named Barbara Bach who he promised to make a bigger star than Farrah for certain hollywood favors. On her own website she briefly talks about her awkward and inappropiate questions and suggestion by the director (lakso) that was handling her test, he was outwardly hitting on her. Her test along with the personality test didn’t go well. Shelley was in and this where her problems in her new career began. This SOB did everything in his power to get her fired or make her walk out which she was to professional to do so she tried as hard as she could. Lakso buried her so far in the background fans forgot she was there. Her weak debut (thanks to lakso) trying to make her entrance as awkward as possible with very little diolouge and screen time still was the #1watched show in america for the 2 week episode.People tuned in to see the new angel not the port holes on the loveboat. After Lakso’s weak excuses for the first half season it’s no wonder ratings started to fall, we didn’t get to see enough of tiffany to embrace her and get to know her. Spelling,Goldberg, and Lakso were called into a meeting by ABC execs. io address the ratings drop and this when and where Shelley Hack became the whipping post and scapegoat for charlies angels rather unfairly. The s/g group said she couldn’t act but these same execs. were at the screen test which went great, so the asked a couple of questions, why are we paying this actress when she is never seen? AND HOW CAN THIS ALL BE HER FAULT WHEN SHE IS NEVER ON SCREEN,HAS NO DIOLOUGE AND WORST OF ALL SHE HAD NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AT ALL.They now knew Lakso was refusing to write for this girl and trio out of personal hatred so the approved and ordered spelling to bring in some new writers,directors,and producers to develpoe this character. Enter Micheal Michelian, Lee Sheldon, BW Sanefur, Dennis Donnelley, and Elain Rich. First they did was to tear down this wall lakso had built between shelley/tiffany and lakso. They liked her and found her to be very different personable and unique, not the same old shit which was what most actresses were at the time , as one would later say it gave us as writers something more to work with and helped stimulate our creative juices. One can only wonder where these new unbiased writers would have taken this unique character in development if they were allowed to do so, because the liked her and thats why the second half of season 4 was so much better and today is recognized as some of the best episodes of the series and tiffanr today has emerged as one of the top most popular and beloved angels of all time (check the polls) which still run today. In the end Lakso did win out and shelley was fired, lakso finally got his coke head party girl who was willing to do anything to suceed.She just couldn’t act worth a lick and looked to cheap,trashy and plain dumb,ratings dropped all the way to #59 and couldn’t go any lower that was rock bottom.Contrast this to shelley’s season 4 which by the way finishe #17 inspite of Ed Lakso, Shelley should be commended, which she is today and we all have lakso to thank for taking away our beloved charlies angels.He got his reward from ABC in the form of being fired (from his own biography). All because he was a old time hollywood exec who thought he was bigger than he actually was and a honry wig wearing old man. WE THE FANS WERE ROBBED ALONG WITH SHELLEY HACK.

belenpakantot

oh, so the old lakso is dead? forgive me if i cannot find any sympathy for him. he was a mean man who badmouthed shelley hack and made her the scapegoat for his lack of creativity and poor writing skills. makes me wonder how he managed to become so powerful at s/g? most reports credit risk husky and barry rosenzweig as the people who managed to get some character development stuff into the show’s first two seasons. i believed lakso was the one pushing hard for claudia jennings or barbara bach and it was easy to see why. either one would fit in perfectly with lakso’s limited range of women characters, mostly prostitutes or wayward girls. the creep!!! lakso got his wish with tanya roberts, and both of them flopped big-time, destroying the show once and for all. what a shame…!!!

Anthonydeutsch

hello belenpakantot, i know what you mean, as history has proven there wasn’t any truth to all the nasty chit he was spreading to the rags, reason i despise him so was is that he basically was visciously trying to ruin a new actresses career all because he wanted barbara bach, now on her own website she briefly talks about her ackward screen test conducted by Lakso and the inappropiate questions and suggestions he was making, in short he was hitting on her and if you know anything about Shelley she would not tolerate any of that she didn’t need to she was rich to begin with and Revlon made her even wealthier. Lakso gained power when first off ivan goff and ben roberts created the angels and wrote the pilot for the first season of which spelling/goldberg screwed them out of their money so after agreeing to 12.5% of the take they split from s/g,m enter rosensweig who really did want to go along with kate jacksons ideas and write scripts with more substance and less sexism but s/g didn’t want any of that, and told him numerous times put them in a bikini and get the hair right and all the rest is just noise so after all these battles he left, enter the s/g bagman Lakso. s/g were in the process of lets say helping themselves to alot of ABC money and were exposed for it and even the fbi and doj got involved and federal investigation was called angelgate, lakso was also helping himself becoming wealthy in the process, all he had to do was keep it going and get five years in the can in order to take the series to syndication and really make s/g rich like stuffed pigs. s/g gave him complete control over all of production but as we know problems arose from the success of the show first farrah then kate, and finally shelley, its funny as three wanted less sexism ala rosensweig,it is a good thing lakso isn’t around to see what has happened today, he would look like the biggest azz for shelley hack has emerged as the most popular angel and there is barely a fan left that thinks she couldn’t act. he killed a show for no reason other than to create a distraction for s/g while they were doing their thing to ABC, such a shame but today she owns her own production company called smash media consultants and have had quite a few successful movies taking concepts all the way to fruition. this woman truely was the smartest angel and all that education and degrees did her well and she also is still well off and a respected politician in ca.

belenpakantot

lakso reportedly said, after watching shelley in the stage play “vanities” a year or so after she departed the series, that shelley was “wonderful.” the least that he could have done was to repeat this in subsequent interviews, and admit that the scripts were the problem on ca season 4 and not shelley’s acting. but that’s probably too much to expect from this creature who did not think twice about badmouthing a newcomer (and undermining shelley’s acting career! not to mention risking the future of the tv show, which true enough reeked of the stench of death in its 5th season premiere) so that he could cover up his lack of creativity and competence

Anthonydeutsch

hello again my friend,as bad as his scripts were according to kate jackson after reading and viewing some of them for the upcoming season that was it in her words she screamed at him and told him she was not saying and doing this shit, so they started bad mouthing her,the real problem was him,he either was lazy or really just didn’t know what to do with this character because actress and character were one and the same, he should have asked for help or at least conferred with spelling to help integrate this new angel, but no he takes the low road, in one of your earlier posts you said all he knew to do was for good girls gone bad and you were spot on, well there is no confusing shelly and her tiffany for some biker chick so he was lost, if he would of just been a decent person about the whole deal i believe even as shitty as some of those scripts were shelley would have worked with it and fleshed it out and things would have been okay i believe, she was that good, look at the later episodes, she was great and that didn’t just fall out of the sky, it was there all along, he just undermined it and tried to bury it. Shelley went on to have a long and illustrious career and never once can i remember anyone ever bad mouth her and say she couldn’t act and had no talent NOT ONCE and that about says it all.

Anthonydeutsch

Just a note here, both Jacklyn and Cheryl WERE consulted and were a part of the screen and personality test of Shelley Hack, according to spelling/goldberg they wanted to make sure that there would be no issues like the ones between Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd and after the personality part Aaron said both the girls called him at his office at century city and said, WE SURE LIKE SHELLEY HACK, so this should tell someone all they need to know about the national enquire rag paper.

belenpakantot

yes, that’s right. i remember the first few articles on the new angel, stating that both jaclyn and cheryl told the producers they were voting for shelley hack because of her sense of humor. they really did look good together and had a wonderful chemistry that the lakso-penned scripts utterly failed to capture. years later after the show ended, reports started filtering that jaclyn and cheryl confronted lakso about his cheating shelley by cutting down her scenes and giving her token lines. obviously, the stupid lakso turned a deaf ear on them. how this incompetent lakso became a head writer and producer on the show puzzle me until now. the episodes that elaine rich and robert janes produced were wonderful and had a sophisticated, confident look that showcased tiffany well. so, yes, len goldberg, it wasn’t shelley hack. it was your lazy, stupid, incompetent lakso who was largely responsible and should be the only person to blame for what you thought was plaguing the show at that time. lakso’s written and produced eps in season 4 had that tired, old 60’s-70’s feel to them. and we could all see now how lakso’s shortcomings that spelled instant death for season 5 as early as the premiere episode, where the strictly amateurish tanya walked around like a bikini-clad zombie in the show. great work of killing the show, ed lakso!

Anthonydeutsch

i remember the same thing, actually according to lakso he said that both cheryl and jacklyn both complained to him that he was cheating shelley on her debut episode and Lakso’s response to that was that he danced around the fact that shelley couldn’t act,doesn’t it make sense as a human being that if someone is having a problem with nerves on their first day on the job, being the one person in charge and responsible for the implimitation and development of this new character, all it would have taken is for him to say everybody take five and then go get a couple of coffees and pull up a chair next to shelley and have a cigarette and coffee with her and calm her down? seems to me that would be the thing to do instead of adding and piling on to shelley hack’s nervousness, thats the humane and compassionate thing to do but instead he sabatages her and for this lack of feelings towards another human being upsets me greatly.

Anthonydeutsch

In light of all this evil ,cruel baloney bestowed upon Shelley Hack by you know who, take a close look at the favorite ange;l polls on this site, can’t keep a winner down in spite of

Greg Jurick Blackshear

Please just set yourself on fire or something freak. I can’t with u any longer.

Chrliesangelsman

I knew that it was Lakso even before I read all the wonderful posts by many different people on here. I REALLY enjoyed reading all the “inside scoop.” The reason that I knew it was Lakso was because he always spoke badly of Shelly in interviews about the show, and what professional shamelessly DOES such a thing? Lakso himself stated in one tv interview himself “she was never integrated in the group” and it was clearly his fault. His story lines in my opinion were usually very boring. I completely agree that he DID NOT wish to (for whatever the reason) have Shelly’s character fit in. Had the show executives TAKEN THE TIME to develop the character the ratings would have at least stayed where they were, if not risen. Lakso’s writing made it appear as though she was not even warmly welcomed by her own co-stars….. what a crock?!?! NO WONDER Shelly didn’t have a chance?? I feel sorry for her. If you think about the MANY MANY possibilities there were to make her character stand out; for example, upon Farrah’s return guest spot, that would have been a FANTASTIC chance to really bring her into the fold, by maybe even having some special screen time between she and Farrah, as Farrah was ALWAYS the darling of Charlie’s Angels, and it would have provided for unique chemistry. It is like she was CONSTANTLY LEFT OUT OF THE CLICK, SHAME ON S/G AND ED LAKSO. Ed Lakso, HAS to be blamed b/c he was the one responsible for her introduction to the series. There is no one else besides him. and both Spelling & Goldberg who’s doorstep to lay the blame. It was a MISSED CHANCE, and the idea to replace her was stupid. Now, that being said, I DO like Tonya (I love ALL the angels) and I think that with the writers they had, she too had an impossible task. It was all about the writing, and the writing capital S.T.U.N.K. for a LONG LONG LONG time. At least all of Ed Lakso’s did…….

Anthonydeutsch

hello angelsman, she always seemed to be a tag along behind the other two, the thing is that Lakso had complete control of production and made damn sure that Tiffany never looked like she belonged, in alot of other posts i wrote i adress the blank stares when Tiff tries to contribute to the case and conversation and yes you are 100% correct this is intentional, in farrahs Angels trail episode it is Tiff who is the smart observant one and finds and figures out the old mormon trail where jill has been taken and not one word was spoken by farrah to Tiff, not even a thaks good job, this was Lakso doings, he pulled this crap for half a season and thats when Fred Silverman and other ABC execs stepped in to hire new guest writers to help repair this angels broken wings and they all did a fantastic job considering the fact that there was not much time to do it, Imagine what they could have come up with if they had the time Lakso had? They blew him away and all of a sudden Tiff finds her way in the agency and we start getting some damn good interesting episodes and we start to get to know her, even towards the end of the season notice these new writers integrated her and no longer was she a tag along, she stabilized the ratings and got it in the top 20 at #17 and then the season ended, if they had more time or this was done earlier the ratings would have climbed into the top 10.

Anthonydeutsch

Ed Lakso’s sole mission was to make Shelley and her tiffany totally ackward and out of place and to try to get the fanbase to reject her which they did but things have turned around because we fans now know most if not all of the story and today we appreciate the fine work by miss shelley hack and wish we had more.We love you Shelley.

belenpakantot

and where are those legitimate tv critics who allegedly complained that shelley couldn’t act? the original angels (yes, including kate) were crucified by some tv critics from decent publications for their acting when the show premiered. but i don’t recall any such reviews with shelley? the “couldn’t act” schtick was now certainly fed by lakso to the credibility-challenged tabloids. even len goldberg, in one of his interviews years after, had to admit that shelley “tried hard and she was good.” this was probably the most truthful statement ever that came out from the s/g production side!

Anthonydeutsch

non existant, paid at the time to scoop this bullshit and if any of them are still in the bussiness i doubt they would admit to it, seeing as today everybody knows she was sabataged and didn’t have a chance in the world.

Anthonydeutsch

pretty astute and hope you continue to write and join in with us in telling the truth

Heather

That is very true, Jill and Tiffany met three times on the show, and they hardly said two words to each other. In An Angel’s Trail, Tiffany basically did all of the work in saving Jill from kidnappers and she’s never even thanked! This would have been the perfect time to show appreciation for Tiffany’s talent, hardwork, and compassion, but no one cares at all! At the very least they could have had Jill say “Thank you so much, I’m so gad you’ve joined the team.” Nothing. Every instance in every episode where they could have been kind to Tiffany and made her a real team member went the exact opposite way. For SHAME!

crtt

Is this still an active website?

Greg Jurick Blackshear

Yes it is. We have been gone for a minute but I have written new content and I expect to post some new episode reviews and articles before the summer. Thanks for asking.

Anthonydeutsch

whats the matter, you too embarressed to post what you write to me privately,low blow, but your true writing style and abilities are now exposed, NOW LISTEN UP CREEP DON’T E-MAIL ME AGAIN, I AM TIRED OF THIS SHIT, YOU DON’T SEEM TO GET IT, I LET GO DAYS AGO AND MOVED ON, SO NOW YOU RESORT TO NAME CALLING,YOU ARE AFRAID TO MENTION THE OTHER FELLOW BECAUSE YOU’LL LOSE ANOTHER FAN, THIS IS ANNA AND HOLLY’S SITE AND YOU NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL, I WISH YOU WOULD DISPLAY BUT WE CALL THAT BEING A COWARD, IF YOU ARE QUEER OR SOMETHING LOOK ELSEWHERE AND STAY OUT OF MY LIFE AND E-MAIL ACCOUNT, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE YOU DONE THIS SHIT TOO, YOU ARE CREEPY AND NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP NOW GO GET IT, THIS IS THE LAST TIME I RESPOND TO YOUR BULLSHIT GET IT LEAVE ME ALONE AND CANCEL ME OUT, I CAN’T MAKE IT ANT SIMPLER THAN THAT OR EXPLICIT

Greg Jurick Blackshear

lmao dude I have never emailed you in life I don’t even have your email addy. This is just as much my site as Anna and Holly’s they will tell you that. I obviously have no problem dealing with you publically. The fact that you actually think I am emailing you is an indicator your mental issues are a little beyond my ability to deal with. The homophobic comments are not surprising. I truly suggest if you don’t like this sight or it’s content you don’t post here. But you know good and well I ain’t never emailed you or communicated with you in any way other than responding to your awkward uncomfortable posts…that you post on my site. It’s kind of my job. Anyway um carry on…..

pnyc1969

That’s the best news I’ve read on the site in days! I know a lot about the writing process and I think the development and precision of your reviews and articles is admirable. I am appreciative and humbled by what you accomplish and share with us fans. I am curious how you decide which eps to review. Personal taste? I can’t see any pattern. Any hints on what is to come? I’d love to see Night of the Strangler, Ahoy, Avenging, Homes $weet Homes, 3 for the Money and Rosemary (which is basically a S3 ep with S4 tone). Summer is a good target date. You are doing hard work.

Heather

I am just SO excited to hear this!!!!! Yes!!! :)) I will be on edge until this new content is revealed mwahaha

Heather

I would love to see Angels in Paradise or Unidentified Flying Angels <3

Peter

Neither of those is among my favorites but I forgot some I would definitely like to see: Angel Baby, Counterfeit, Hiding, One of Our Angels is Missing and the much maligned Angel On the Line. Whatever is chosen I will be appreciative.

Heather

Angel Baby, yes! Also the Pilot, Bullseye, Game, Set, Death and Winning is for Losers. But I’m excited to see what you choose, Greg!

Heather

I also agree with Night of the Strangler and Angels Ahoy! Good choices 🙂

Peter

I would definitely like to hear what these guys have to say about the pilot. It was obviously somewhat different in tone. I see you also like Bullseye. I like that one a lot and it’s fairly under the radar. People don’t tend to remember it. It’s sort of a lite version of Chains. GSD and Winning are not favorites of mine but in one of them Kelly makes a reference to Fleetwood Mac or Alice Cooper. It sounds odd to hear an Angel make a pop culture reference. The Angelverse suggests that it is normal to regularly experience attempts on your life but listen to contemporary music…not so much.
